Thanks for letting me know who to attribute that quote to--I hate not being able to give credit where credit is due. Take care.
Thank you, you're too kind. P.S. , it's Abraham lincoln.
I wanted to tell you that I really like the rose picture (and your dedication). It reminds me of a quote (I don't know who said it): "Some people complain because rose bushes have thorns, instead they should rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."
